Neurotoxicity mechanism of Ochratoxin A
Mycotoxins, such as Ochratoxins, are widely distributed in nature and are common contaminants of human foodstuffs. Ochratoxins are a group of mycotoxins produced by a wide range of molds. Ochratoxin A (OTA), the most prominent member of this toxin family,

Risk assessment of ochratoxin A in food
The European Commission asked EFSA to update their 2006 opinion on ochratoxin A (OTA) in food. OTA is produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium and found as a contaminant in various foods.

Real-time detection of Ochratoxin A in wine through insight of aptamer conformation in conjunction with graphene field-effect transistor [PDF]
Mycotoxins comprise a frequent type of toxins present in food and feed. The problem of mycotoxin contamination has been recently aggravated due to the increased complexity of the farm-to-fork chains, resulting in negative effects on human and animal health and, consequently, economics.

Ochratoxin A: The Continuing Enigma [PDF]
The mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) has been linked to the genesis of several disease states in both animals and humans. It has been described as nephrotoxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, immunotoxic, and hepatotoxic in laboratory and domestic animals, as well as being thought to be the probable causal agent in the development of nephropathies (Balkan ...

Detection and Estimation of Ochratoxin A [PDF]
THE recent isolation1 of ochratoxin A from Aspergillus ochraceus Wilh., which has a widespread natural distribution, made the development of a rapid method for the detection and estimation of the mycotoxin desirable. The following methods have been used during screening of fungal strains and media for toxin production.

Pathohistological changes in kidney and LDH activity in broiler treated with different doses of ochratoxin A [PDF]
The three-week long trial was performed on day-old Hybro broilers divided into four groups. After 14 days long preexperimental period, the experimental groups were offered feed contaminated with 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 ppm OA during 7 respectively.
